I think that is what the distinction between the front page and dairy sections should be about.  The Diary section is for everyone to publish their thoughts - amateur or otherwise.  The front page should be for the more seriously researched and perhaps peer reviewed papers that are our platform for greater influence in the outside world.

Many diaries end up on the front page once they have been "peer reviewed"
